YES. I just told you guys that! I'm not talking out of my ass. **** it trade Ariza for him with #16 now. He's better than anything you're getting outside of the top 5. @Rudyc281
That would be great just to see the reaction to another Ariza for Oubre swap. But also, yes, Oubre is solid. Not sure why teams keep moving him.
Modified trades in light of Boston interest in da Beard Trade #1: HOU - CHA - BOS - ORL HOU: Gordon (ORL) + Smart (BOS) + Brown (BOS) + Robert Williams (BOS) + Poirer (BOS) + Bridges (CHA) + Batum (CHA) + 2021 CHA FRP (top 5 protected) + 2023 CHA FRP (lottery protected) + 2020 BOS 14th (Killian Hayes) + 2020 BOS 26th + 2021 ORL FRP (top 3 protected) + 2022 BOS FRP (unprotected) CHA: Westbrook (HOU) + Gordon (HOU) + 2020 ORL 15th BOS: Harden (HOU) + Tucker (HOU) ORL: 2020 CHA 3rd + Rozier (CHA) + House (HOU) Trade #2: POR - HOU - IND HOU: Turner (IND) + 2021 POR FRP POR: Covington (HOU) IND: Ariza (POR) + 2020 POR 16th + 2020 BOS 26th Rockets 2020 - 2021 Smart - Killian - Clemons Brown - Nwaba - McLemore Bridges - Batum - Jae'sen Tate (FA) Gordon - Williams - Hartenstein (FA) Turner - Poirer - Vonleh (FA) Young, but talented team that can be coached up. 6 - 8th seed in 2020. Add star in 2021 and off to the ship. @D-rock Could also flip Batum + picks for Bradley Beal or Paul George or Pascal Siakam at trade deadline to make a run in 2020!
Think they have to wait on a trade for Ariza + 16th for Oubre. But i guess they could Agree on the trade then do it what is it 20 days from now? Be good trade.
Keep Rozier, send Smart & Poirer to ORL instead but want either Isaac or Bamba in addition to AG. If we are going to dream, let's dream big.
It's been both insanely busy and depressing recently. I think PJ Tucker is the next casualty for another mid 1st.
Thanks for the info.... but alas I think you're right.... is there a target in mind or just acquiring assets (if you can share)?
Makes too much sense, Tilly is going bananas creating salary room to "sign a player to MLE". Willing to dump 2 starters on great salaries to "make Harden want to stay".
Thanks for the info! Really hope Harden gets away from this guy. When you say depressing hope it’s basketball related and not personal!
It’s bullet proof logic. Hey James we traded away our best defenders and 3 point shooters for some LT savings and some picks. Wana talk about that contract with extension again?
